I recently caught a cold, didn't feel like making a thumbnail, and am currently spending every waking moment bingewatching hunter x hunter. Anyways streams are not gonna happen until im back on my feet, I'd give it a couple of days. A general rule of thumb as a streamer is that my misfortune is your content, so as long as i have my energy back to stream i'll do it, coofing or not 👍
I enjoyed the Witness, but my tolerance for pretentious bullshit is definitely higher than most, and that game was swimming in it. This game is a great parody, because you can tell the dev got what the Witness was _trying_ to do, and was not impressed in the slightest.
I agree 100%, this is peak parody and is an example of how its done Even funnier that the dev of the witness can't handle criticism. I kinda want Joseph Anderson to play the looker now
Albino actually lacks the critical thinking skills to play a puzzle game, so this was just him pretending to play over a RUclips video of a full playthrough
I do think its funny the guy who created the witness said "you need to understand" so you have to sit through those multii long portions, and then quits out of a review minutes in
Games are both something to be fun to play, and a work of art to be thought-provoking. Missing the latter leaves a game dull and lacking substance, while missing the former leaves a game boring or frustrating. Both reduce engagement.
@@joenoodle6914 I never said something being contextually shallow doesn’t make it fun. If the gameplay alone is enough to keep people there then I guess it’s successful at doing what it set out for.
in a way, tetris works on being thought provoking in a strategic sense. Theres a lot of tech to be learned about arcade games. Especially tetris. That and like.. theres tetris effect which was supposed to be sort of an emotional experience even without in your face thought provoking dialog or story so...
Good gameplay can make you overlook a bad story A good story can not save bad gameplay Games are first and foremost games. The gameplay of a lot of the witness is good, but the "just wait lmao" """puzzles""" waste time
A game doesn't necessarily need to be deep to be thought provoking, a game can demand thought from the player through strategy, preparation, choice making, learning or gameplay. But in general for a game to be good, it needs to be fun, engaging and thought provoking.
I loved the witness due to the fact that playing it feels like you're back to being 11-12 years old and you start thinking some philosophical shit in your free time and your thoughts just drag on and you think that its kinda smart but you're just wasting time and think all those random thoughts just to entertain yourself. The game is full of this meaning of life-esque thoughts that mask your need to chase away boredom and blur the passing of time
I liked Johnathan Blow's "Braid" and it was a slight bit pretentious, but The Witness is a whole other level of stupid. The dev looks down on people who play video games just for a skinner box of rewards, and thinks they should always be some interactive art piece. I don't like The Witness not because I didn't understand it, but because it's bad. It's trying to do the same thing that Pathologic is doing, but Blow refuses to admit that it's bad on purpose.
I thought it was alright, too fucking hard for me at times though, I had to look up a bunch of the puzzles. And yeah it absolutely makes you just wait with a thumb up your ass for no reason.
Honestly to make a parody like this you probably would have to respect the source material on some level. And no, The Witness is pretty good. There aren’t many games that really force you to think that hard and come up with possible solutions for something you don’t even know how to solve yet. Plus, nothing beats that dopamine rush when it finally clicks and you get that “Aha!” moment. But yeah it’s unfortunate that the dev has his head shoved so far up his ass.
I love The Witness, played it to full completion, including the hour long puzzle, and I fully understand any criticism that game gets. From a game design standpoint, it betrays your trust as a player quite a few times, and in many moments it thinks it's a lot smarter than it actually is. It's still a great, beautiful and well designed game for the most part, especially the main/required puzzles for reaching the game. But yeah, overall a very mixed bag.
I would like to inform the witness developer that the looker was a shitpost and should not be taken seriously. It's like crying seething and malding over a doin' your mom joke.
I loved the witness, The puzzles were great(especially the environmental ones) and the game world was beautiful and I enjoyed exploring it but yeah it was pretentious as shit and I didn't bother looking for all the secret puzzles. The looker is such a fun parody I laughed my ass off at the end.
get well soon albimbo, and imo you should check out ultrakill on stream if you haven't already, considering how you have a knack for skillful gameplay, I feel like you could do some nasty stuff

Damn. TLDR??
Best fkin thumb ever, no one can't click on this vid, +1t views
I get it, got a cold too, still went to school tho, with a mask of course

The dev of this loves the witness though.
The dev of The Looker likes The Witness, he was just also engaging with the criticism it receives and poking fun at it.
I agree 100%, this is peak parody and is an example of how its done
Even funnier that the dev of the witness can't handle criticism.
I kinda want Joseph Anderson to play the looker now
Nothing brightens the light in a child's eyes more than waiting hours for something, that's why Desert Bus was such a hit.
Nothing brightens the flame in a child's eyes more than a flamethrower
A Flashbang brightens them more, I tried
hey everyone, flashbang here
Albino actually lacks the critical thinking skills to play a puzzle game, so this was just him pretending to play over a RUclips video of a full playthrough
This is real
This is true I was the RUclips video
He would've spent 5 hours to make sure that every puzzle could be solved by drawing straight lines (he rigged the game)
true I was the browser
it took albino and ungodly amount brain juice for the simplest puzzle
“Thats literally like 500 porn accounts on my twitter”
*iconic albino theme starts playing*
The same amount of puzzles advertised in "the witness"
what is the iconic albino theme?
I love how the game goes from pure parody of The Witness to actually trying and making a fun puzzle game with its gimmick
i actually love the last two minutes of this video, critique-bino is a character i wish to see more of
true
I wish to see more of masturbino
I agree as well! Be certain that anytime there's one, it'll be in the vids.
pogger
critique-bino and irl-bino are my favories
that one was fun, satirical and a big thumbsup for thinking outside the box, and no jumpscare 11/10
I do think its funny the guy who created the witness said "you need to understand" so you have to sit through those multii long portions, and then quits out of a review minutes in
here is the kicker
here is the jumper
and here is the looker
Playin my music in the suuuuuuuun

i disagree, because tetris is fun and that's just shapes

7:05 epic and based Albino.
That 100% the scariest albino thumbnail ever.
Albino describing what a good version of the witness should be:
Literally talos principle.
we need more goofy games like this one

I will never forget how Pathologic hurt me so good that i played it and Pathologic 2 for over 200 hours combined
I get the sense that the witness is the game you make when you are an art snob but have no aesthetics.
I never thought of it that way. huh.
the 27 year old LOOKER
Dude I played this video in school and your intro almost got me into trouble lmao
Nice
Child moment
First time Albino watcher
@@johnathandoesemire2744 what do you mean? This isn't Albino
The Witness was fucking awful, huge respect to developer of this game. Also 6:55 based
the witness was fucking amazing & the dev of the looker is pretty cool too
I thought it was alright, too fucking hard for me at times though, I had to look up a bunch of the puzzles.
And yeah it absolutely makes you just wait with a thumb up your ass for no reason.
Both games are really cool.

Checked his follows, he doesn't follow that many porn accounts (most of them are yiff though) weirdly, he does follow Stonetoss.
I love this game, glad to see you play it

That MapleStory music though 👌
I love the use of the henesys music from MapleStory it's definitely a throwback for me hehe
I would like to inform the witness developer that the looker was a shitpost and should not be taken seriously.
It's like crying seething and malding over a doin' your mom joke.
My honest reaction to that information
My God is that Neco Arc in your pfp?
this man can find the most insane rig in every game but cant beat this shit
The guy who made the witness definitely seems like the kind of guy who'd get mad about a parody of his game.
I love the hollow knight background music
I loved the witness, The puzzles were great(especially the environmental ones) and the game world was beautiful and I enjoyed exploring it but yeah it was pretentious as shit and I didn't bother looking for all the secret puzzles. The looker is such a fun parody I laughed my ass off at the end.
Today I learned albino’s interests on Twitter
THE ONE PIECE. THE ONE PIECE IS REAL! 9:28
You should play What Remains of Edith Finch! It's a great game, with a good story!
yo i love this game! super happy to see albino playing it
That ending lmao
Hey guys look Norwegian Maggot uploaded! Also never heard of this game before nor witness but what did that guy mean?
Does anybody know what the music is from that plays throughout the video? its so familier
This video is gold
The Thumbnail will be a new emote on Twitch, surely.
That's what obelisks are.
I regret I had to see how Witness dev actually looks...
Just wait till you see that clip of him crying while people having fun playing his game.
More in game Bino time
get well soon albimbo, and imo you should check out ultrakill on stream if you haven't already, considering how you have a knack for skillful gameplay, I feel like you could do some nasty stuff
Haha great video
so true, what a good video bino has gifted us with
Sleep deprivation...
Jonathan was criticizing Joseph Anderson for saying the witness wastes your time?
...but it does?
I enjoy your content :)
nice hint tho
hehe my meme was in the intro

I was about to take a nap, but....
Same it's like 5am also my God your pfp is cursed.
Can someone tell me what song that is at the end credits ?
Johnathan Blow has forever been a clown ever since Soulja Boy made a video making fun of Braid and he cried in public back then too.
Obelisk of knowledge... Oh no, its a big coc...
God dam your Scandinavian upload schedule
He should play cruelty squad
he already has, one vid and I think 2 or 3 VODs of his entire playthrough
@@rollstep oh I see.
Thanks bino very cool
video quality be like: old pewdiepie cam bahahaha
the witness was a waste of time but I liked the art style.
the witness is one of the worst games i've ever played and the guy who made it seething anytime someone makes fun of it is the funniest fucking thing.
Based albino
